Disk Mode
Macros
There are a couple of things to notice here. The first is a new choice in the bank list: specified.
"Load this macro as specified" means load all the files in the macro following the exact
instructions for the bank and load mode for each file. In our example, all the files were specified
to be loaded into the 200s bank using Fill mode. If this is acceptable at the time you want to load
the macro, you can just press OK. Otherwise, you can override the bank and mode settings for
the entire macro by choosing a different bank and mode before pressing OK (this is called
rebanking the macro).
The other thing noticeable about the above display is that the Macro and Insert buttons are still
available, because the Macro mode is still Record. This means that when you load the macro, it
gets added to the RAM Macro table. But it's not the filename (SYNTH.MAC) that gets added, as
is the case with .K26 files. Instead, every macro entry in the file's Macro table gets loaded into the
RAM Macro table. This is a convenient way to edit a macro file or combine elements of several
macro files into one macro. See Editing Macros on page 13-53.
In our example, since we're in Macro Record mode, pressing Macro would add the macro file's
entries into the RAM Macro table. Pressing OK would add the macro file's entries into the RAM
Macro table, and would load the corresponding files into RAM. Since we added the files listed in
the macro to the RAM Macro table when we recorded the macro, the RAM Macro table now
includes a duplicate set of entries.
Whatever method of loading you choose (that is, specified in the macro or overriding the
macro), the K2661 locates each file in the macro in the exact order in which the entries are listed.
If the files are on different disks in your disk system, you can observe your various disks as
they're selected in turn and files are loaded from them.
If the K2661 cannot locate one of the files, you'll see a "Not Found" error message. If a disk
cannot be accessed (for example, if the SCSI ID stored with the macro entries in this example is
no longer the current SCSI ID of the disk), you will see the message "Problem mounting disk,"
to which you must press OK. If Confirm is set to On on the Master-mode page, loading will stop
on the first error message, giving you a chance to cancel the operation or keep going. If you
answer Yes at this point, the operation will continue, even if the K2661 encounters subsequent
errors. If you run into a lot of errors due to loading an out-of-date macro file, the macro process
can be discontinued using a special procedure described later in the section called Aborting a
Macro Load. (page 13-57).
When the macro is done loading, you'll see this display:
The K2661 returns to the Disk-mode page. You should now be able to go to the Save dialog, or
Program mode, and verify that all of the objects from the files of the macro are now in the
K2661's memory.
